Reading all the comments in the white privilege thread, particularly the ones saying whites have white privilege because they are the majority, has me questioning the future.

Latinos are the fastest growing segment of the American population. Not too far down the road, Latinos will become the majority and will most likely keep that status forever. Whites will join blacks as a minority group in America. Once that happens, will people start claiming Latino privilege exists and will white privilege no longer exist?

This is a serious question, because Latinos will be the majority and the common comment I find about white privilege is about that they are the majority and make the rules which hold down minorities on purpose. Once Latinos become the majority, they will have the biggest influence on policy making. How do you see this playing out over the years as the demographics change?

Will blacks claim they are being held down by Latinos instead of whites and will whites start claiming they are held down by Latinos?

Money controls policy. Latinos would be the largest voting block, so pols would pander to them even more than they do now (and they do a lot ), but policy would actually be based around who is donating to whom. Pretty much how it's been for a few centuries.

If whites are to become the minority in this country then I would rather blacks or Asians become the majority. I don't care for cultures who have a tribal mentality that trumps our immigration laws and that are heavy breeders. Blacks at least speak English as their primary language also. Asians tend to be well educated and have good jobs.

Setting aside that I am SHOCKED at some of what you wrote , let me ask you this in the context of THIS thread. When latinos become the majority, will you then claim Latino privilege exists? Will you claim you are being held down by Latinos?

Before they became "Latinos/Hispanics" in the 80s, people of Spanish or Latin American origin used to be part of the white community! In the Jim Crow era, they were complicit with Anglo Americans.
